Alloy wheels
I currently have steel wheels on my Volvo but have a set of alloys pictured for her. My question is will they go straight on using the existing wheel nuts from the original steel wheels ?

I'm not sure on those exact wheel bolts but usually steel and alloys have different bolts. You can buy bolts in Halfords just need to know what sort of seat it is e.g taper and then the thread, they sell them as a locking wheel nut set and you can also buy wheel bolts online so not a problem if you do get the alloys.

volvos in UK have never used different nuts for steel compared to alloy for the obvious reason alloy wheeled cars have a steel spare , the only reason they have nuts which look different is that alloy ones have to be pretty but if you have hub caps normal nuts can be used . Both are interchangeable mechanically
